 I do not think they will fall below $10.00 per set. 200,000 sets is still not a lot of sets released into a population of over 330,000,000. Even 300,000 sets is not a lot. Also, other than collector demand, there isn't a lot of demands for one cent coins for the general circulation. How many BILLIONS and BILLIONS of 1959 to 2008 one cent coins are in circulation right now any way? With the Lincoln One Dollar Commemorative selling out so quickly, all things Lincoln will hold some collector value. We may see a decline in one cent coin production for a few years now.

I've just never been a "wheeler & dealer" when it comes to my coin collecting......as far as the excitement in "making money" off of "selling coins" goes......even if I were to use the profits to purchase other coins.....but that's cool for those who do, I don't mean to disparage that at all. I hope ya'll get all of the "cheddar" ya can ! .....  But I would say too.......there are "many" collectors here who just simply "hate" Ultra Modern coins from a collecting standpoint.....and these Lincolns are just "the latest thorn in the craw" kind of thing. They don't like "ANY" of the new Commemoratives including the Lincoln Silver Dollar or the Bald Eagle Silver Dollar from last year......they hate em' ALL !!.....The State Quarters.......the Presidential dollars.....the new Native American dollar designs, Westward Series Nickels.....etc. etc. etc. And to "compare" Classic coins, values, mintages, and just "reasons why" to any "New Ultra Modern Coin" is just a very adamant "annoyance" and "irritation" to them I think.

WOW I see that the US Mint has taken the money for my 5 sets from my account. I thought they said they do not charge your account till the ship your order?
I got no email saying they have shipped it says Expected date 7/15 so why did they charge me already any guess?
Also only one charge I placed an order for 5 sets for my daughter with her address but used my bank account has anyone done this will it go through that way?

Quote: The one I placed in my daughters name says your order has been CANCELED So, the " 5 per household" limit was enforced then......yeah....they don't care if it's under a different name in the house or not......just 5 per household. And I hope they have a " 1 per household limit" of the Special Lincoln Sets !!.......this will give us at least a chance at landing one of those !

They charged my account right around the same day they shipped so I would think if your account has been charged that they will be on the way soon.

The one order I placed for my daughter was her US Mint account with her address but when I placed that order I used my credit card to pay for it.
Si they must check the credit card address and if it does not match the account address I guess they cancel the order.
Will have to use her credit card for the special Lincoln set if they ever list a date for that again.

Nobody knows yet Shatsi.It "was" on the Mints website schedule for generally a "summer" release, then they took it down and haven't put it back up yet. I suspect that when/if they do put it back up, it will have an exact date this time. The "mad house rush" to try to be one of the lucky 50,000 people to get one of these WILL BE INCREDIBLE ! ......And I expect it will be a miracle to be one of the fortunate few to land one of these. Even if you are on the website at exactly 12:01 the day of availability. I also hope that they stick to a "one per household" deal with this Set.......so that more people have a chance to own one without "after market frenzy" price gouging......which will be potentially CRAZY too !  .......guess I should have read what I wrote up above......I already said "half" that !......Oh well ! ...

I had placed 2 seperate orders, 5 in each and one of the orders was shipped yesterday and the other is in stock and reserved. I'm thinking of canceling the second order but the cancel button is not there anymore. Will they be able to cancel if I call them?
